Outstanding Minimalists Blogs in no particular order.
Home-cooked meals; an investment strategy for my wellbeing. by 
Because a meal is expensive doesn't guarantee that it is hygienic and the fact that an eatery looks great doesn't mean their kitchen is the same
Simple food: healthy food by 
Growing up having a very simple lifestyle because that's the only what we can afford, made me strong despite that circumstances. It made me realize that we are still blessed because we didn't go to sleep hungry.
Now that I have grown up and have my own family, I can't say that we are rich nor we are poor but we are blessed.
#KISS: Tastes like only one thing. by 
In preparations I am also elementary. I usually cook with very little. I am open to experimenting with new flavours and seasonings.
I believe that quality is above variety.
A savvy shopper by 
Instead of getting a good, expensive blender, you buy a cheaper one to of course "minimize" cost. This has a lot of risks attached to it, the wiring can be wrongly placed and when plugged into electricity, can be extremely hazardous. That electrifying hazard is enough risk, plus rusting of the blade and other disadvantages.
I love Minimalism when preparing my meals by 
My garden helped me a lot when I was growing up, all we do is just go to our backyard and get anything we feel like cooking for that day, we always eat fresh food, and my father only gives money for other ingredients like seasoning cubes and we always buy that in bulk and all other necessary ingredients.
My Plant-Induced Satisfaction by 
Keeping up with my minimalist lifestyle has greatly affected how I prepare my meals. Since most of the food items are readily available at home and planted by me. It makes it a lot easier. My peppers sprouted beautifully a couple of months ago. I’m particularly excited about this one because I’d tried severally to make this particular species of pepper🌶️ grow and what usually happened was, when it germinated to a certain level, it just withered off.
The minimalism way: healthy, rich yet economical. by 
I have come to love cooking my meals that way I am in control of the amount of the ingredients that go into my meals, the neatness of my environment and how clean my veggies and utensils are. Preparing my meals has made me want to know more about my ingredients. Most times I research the nutritional benefits of each ingredient to know what I am consuming more or less in terms of having a balanced diet.
Fixed It by 
Yesterday, I watched a video on how to make a power strip within the amount we pay to buy one from the shops, but it would be far better than the ones available on the market as compared to the prices we will be playing. A detailed video of thirty minutes with lots of general knowledge on this matter, and I was tempted to build one myself, but I already have one, so why waste my money on another one that is not needed right now?
Minimalising Memorabilia by 
How do people hoard boxes and boxes upon boxes of this stuff, when it's so very rarely opened? How many memories do we need to keep - a half-finished scribble of a butterfly, unlabelled, or a story you started writing but never finished and never will? A ticket stub to a concert you don't remember going to? Spelling tests from your son's 3rd year in school? I mean, come on.
Small details that are giants by 
I have seen on some occasions the pressure that some friends feel because they have to give a gift because they feel they have a duty to return the favor to someone who gave one to them. This seems to me to be a bondage that leads you to act in a chain based on absurd reasons. If they give me something expecting me to return a gift at some point, for me it stops being a gift and becomes a loan that I will not cancel because I simply will not be part of the club.
Some tips

🔸 Just a reminder that the weekly #KISS Blog Ideas is presented with ideas on topics to write about and to help you to structure your blogs, they are not meant to be questionnaires for you to list information and publish.
